De La Salle Enters The Modern Era

St. Rita is doing the same with beautiful new weight room and locker room. It is sad that schools such as SR and DLS have to cater to young men with fancy facilities; investing millions of dollars that should be directed toward scholarships. I remember when St. Rita guys took pride in their cramped, leaky gym and 108 yard football field and dingy locker rooms. It was a sense of toughness and home field advantage.
I am curious to hear more about this 108 yard field. Was it really 12 yards short of a full field? Or was it 118 yards and just 2 yards shy? Regardless, it would be interesting to see how many fields aren't measured properly for all 120 yards.
Your so right. Carmel weight room was a gutted out leaky classroom when I was there, and we still dominated people. It was a sense of toughness
A gutted out leaky classroom?!? Luxury!
We had little more than a darkened hole in the foundation.
And we liked it!
We walked 5 miles up hill both ways in the snow to get to practice!
And we asked for more!
metro east lutheran used to play in a bowl that was 119 yds long. they also had a corner in the endzone that was 2' higher than the other corners. lots of fades were thrown into that corner.
What was the enrollment when you were there? I betting it was much higher so there was no need to provide first rate facilities since there was a much bigger pool of kids to choose from not to mention the added competition from new CPS selective enrollment and suburban schools.
Different day and age man. If you don't have to have sub-par facilities I'm not sure why you'd want to have them. And do you know where the money is coming from? If you do let me know as I do not know. But if someone donated and wanted it to specifically to go to that, then that's where it's going.

how much was SR tuition back then compared to today's check that has to be written?
Great to see the new turf going in. Now that Montini is in the Blue, I hope the best for the Meteors!
Blasphemy.
More precisely, the neighbors won't allow it. You have no idea the kinds of hoops Loyola had to jump through to get this project approved by the village.
Argo got their old turf replaced with brand new state of the art turf complete with some kind of cushion beneath the turf to add years to turf & decrease concussions big time.Any update on Hansen being shut down this year?

Yeah, because BR admittedly has small bleachers. DLS literally had NONE because of the baseball field situation. Just wondering if they corrected that. You’ll know I mean business when MC starts playing at its home field & if they don’t somehow construct Soldier Field level visitor bleachers, Feeto will not hear the end of it!
